Here I am. Stopping finasteride was not a good idea: my slow hair loss re-started and, in addition to start receeding on temples again, I noticed visible thinning on the vertex. This happened about 6-7 months after stopping fina. You can see this from the pictures at the bottom of the page; they were shot approximately in early summer 2009.
After noticing my hairloss was getting clearly noticeable I started taking fina again in the same period (April 2009 more or less). It didn' t have any effect until 4-5 months (end of summer 2009) when I started to feel my hair thicker and stopped to feel that tiresome itchiness in the zone of the hairloss (you know what I am talking about, don' t you?).
Now, after 13 months, my hair are thick again and the vertex is almost perfect like it was before the stop. The temples are better again, the first bunches of hair on the sides were thin one year ago and now they are stronger. However, during the no-finasteride period, I receeded a little bit and I didn' t recover that recession.
I was at the point, 2 years ago, I started to have doubts wheter my hairloss was real or not. It was. It' s just that I started to take finasteride at such an early stage that I began to have doubts after some years that I was not suffering from male baldness at all. But my head of hair wasn' t healthy: it was just finasteride doing its job very well from an early stage of baldness.
About the side effects: they disappear about 10-15 days after stopping fina.
In the same way they reappear in 10-15 days from the day you start to take the pill again. I' m talking about the most noticeable (for me) side effects that is the very liquid sperm and the diminished frequency of morning erections.
About the mental effects and the weak erections I' m not sure anymore if they are real side effects or it' s just suggestion.
Effects on my hair from a cold turkey stop: I didn' t notice anything for about 4-5 months and then my slow Androgenetic Alopecia started to thin and receed my hair again. Typical tiresome itchiness in the package.
Effects on my hair after starting to take fina again: beneficial effects began after about 5-6 months after the first pill and I think they are going to reach their peak in 1.5-2 years. Then it' s just about mantaining (I suppose this from my previous finasteride experience).
Here' s pictures of me in middle 2009 when I was at my worst.
I will post up to date pictures of me in the next weeks.
